I worked out that it will take me about 60 hours of combat just to fully train ONE cl70 pet. If I want to do anything else during my in-game time it will take even longer.

What kind of creature are you using and what are you killing and are you grouped with your pet?

Really to sum it up, im finding grinding pet abilities more boring and dull than my job, and i get paid to do that, not vice-versa. To expect us to grind 50 million+ xp more than any other non-jedi profession to genuinely become a master is insanity.
Creature handler's are in general a different type of player to most other combat professions& forcing them to grind incessantly is not the way to keep them paying the subscription every month.
Id like to see the grinding taken out altogether, but Im sureit wont be. If a compromise had to be reached i would say that it really shouldnt take so long, 4 or 5 million xpto fully trainone creature just makes me lose the will to live. Id put the growth back on a daily timer, and just have 1 xp requirement per creature until it gained all points and slots - say 1 million for a level 80. Or 10 rollovers of 100k etc, just less grinding please!
Also make the pet abilities tradeable between players and listable on vendors,like droid commands in space are, then those who wanted to grind out abilities can also make some cash out of it, seeing as its tough to do missions as a ch with the group system the way it is at the moment.
Quests which take us all over the galaxy on wild goose chases to find mythical beasts are what its all about for me though aswell.

Hey ther epeeps seems I just got the best idea to get your second character slot.
Tame and fully train 25 CL 70 Pets and then turn them into the CH Trainer of your choice. No need to get the SP taken away for having to get useless skills.

But I don't know what good that will do as they are going to take CH out of the game at least somewhat
